From Slave South to New South - Public Policy in Nineteenth-Century Georgia (Paperback)

Peter Wallenstein

Tracing the development of public policy in America, Wallenstein
focuses on the southern variant of the national pattern and
demonstrates the impact of the Civil War on public policy in
Georgia. He relates political power to policy objectives as he
draws connections among economic conditions, political conflict,
and the social consequences of government actions. In investigating
taxes, railroads, schools, and racial regulations, he reveals that
prewar, wartime, and postwar patterns varied in significant ways.
